AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The chip card holder ensures tight retention of the chip card even with smaller batteries, maintaining electrical connections and protecting the card from damage caused by shocks or vibrations.

Problems solved by technology

However, different batteries may have even tiny differences in size.
When a relatively smaller sized battery is placed into the chamber, the battery may not resist against the chip card tightly enough.
This results in movement of the chip card in the receiving slot.
Such movements may cause poor electrical connection to a connector of the portable electronic device, and thus call quality thereof is reduced.
In addition, the battery may hit the chip card when the portable electronic device is heavily shocked or vibrated.
Thus, the chip card can be damaged by movements of the battery.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]The chip card holder of the present embodiment is suitable for portable electronic devices, such as, mobile phones, PDAs (personal digital assistants), palm computers and other devices which incorporate a chip card and a battery. FIG. 1 shows a first exemplary chip card holder 100 used to hold a chip card 10. The chip card holder 100 includes a housing 30, a stop cushion 50 detachably assembled in the housing 30 and a cover 70 latching to the housing 30.

[0015]The housing 30 is often a part of a portable electronic device for receiving electronic components of the portable electronic device. The housing 30 has a top surface 301, a chamber 31, and a receiving slot 32. The chamber 31 and the receiving slot 32 both are recessed in the top surface 301 and adjacent to each other. The chamber 31 is enclosed by four sidewalls 310 and a bottom wall 312, and receives a battery 90. The receiving slot 32 receives the chip card 10 and the stop cushion 50. The receiving slot 32 has an openi...

Abstract

A chip card holder used to fixing a chip card comprises a housing defining a receiving slot configured for receiving a chip card therein; a stop cushion for assembly in the receiving slot for resisting against the chip card to restrict movement of the chip card in the receiving slot. The chip card can avoid moving in the receiving slot and enhance the stability of portable electronic devices.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Technical field[0002]The present disclosure relates to chip card holders and, particularly, to a chip card holder used in a portable electronic device.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Portable electronic devices such as mobile phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) are widely used. The portable electronic devices typically use a chip card (e.g., SIM card) for storing information. Chip card holders hold / secure the chip card within the portable electronic devices.[0005]In use, a chip card is mounted into the receiving slot. A battery is placed in a chamber and resists against the chip card, thereby preventing the chip card from moving out from the receiving slot.[0006]However, different batteries may have even tiny differences in size. When a relatively smaller sized battery is placed into the chamber, the battery may not resist against the chip card tightly enough. This results in movement of the chip card in the receiving slot. Such movements may ca...
